Publisher's Summary
Bloomsbury presents Hood Feminism written and read by Mikki Kendall.
'It is absolutely brilliant, I think every woman should read it' PANDORA SYKES, THE HIGH LOW
‘My wish is that every white woman who calls herself a feminist will read this book in a state of hushed and humble respect ... Essential reading' ELIZABETH GILBERT
I'm a feminist. Mostly.
I'm an asshole. Mostly.
All too often the focus of mainstream feminism is not on basic survival for the many, but on increasing privilege for the few.
Meeting basic needs is a feminist issue. Food insecurity, the living wage and access to education are feminist issues. The fight against racism, ableism and transmisogyny are all feminist issues.
White feminists often fail to see how race, class, sexual orientation and disability intersect with gender. How can feminists stand in solidarity as a movement when there is a distinct likelihood that some women are oppressing others?
Insightful, incendiary and ultimately hopeful, Hood Feminism is both an irrefutable indictment of a movement in flux and also clear-eyed assessment of how to save it.

Scathing, confronting & bias shattering literally.
I read "Your Silence will not protect you" & followed up with Mikki's book. What saddens me the most is that both Audre and Mikki are standing on a table shouting the same truths 60 years apart. This book opened me up to confronting the ways I sit in my privilege and I, in spite of my best efforts have been an ally but not an accomplice to the women who need it the most. I read it from cover to cover and will read it again when making decisions regarding how to show up with real integrity. A quote kept coming back "Comfort the afflicted, afflict the comfortable."🤷🏾♀️

So many pearls
I loved how Mikki intertwined her lived experience in her take down of white feminism. She critiqued and challenged and I am here for it. He mihi aroha e te mareikura. Thank you for your wisdom and sharing Mikki.

Brilliant
A brilliant and confronting read that every white feminist (actually, human) should read. I’m challenged to not just listen, but put Kendall’s challenge in action. There’s a lot of space for us white women to repudiate allyship and become accomplices. I won’t forget this book.

Read it yesterday
This is much more informative than anything on any other must read books listed for learning about feminism. I also learnt more about BIPOC issues than I have through anything else. This book is the absolute tits.

A must read book for all feminists
As a white feminist, this book helped me to understand about issues facing other feminists that have never happened to me, but that are equally as important as all other feminist issues.

Useful resource for white women
This book is just excellent. It’s a great resource for white women who want to make their approach to feminism more intersectional, something we cannot do without putting the work in to listen and understand how white feminism (feminism that centres on the concerns of white women, while not taking into account or prioritising the concerns and experiences of women of colour) has failed women of colour and will continue to do so if we (white women) don’t develop ourselves to be better and more genuine allies. I plan to reread this every year.

Very important book
All women should read this book for a much-needed education on how poverty, racism, ableism and classism affect feminism.
